Antisemitism crisis. What is real and what is not - Michael West
Anthony Albanese has announced a Royal Commission into the Bondi Attacks and antisemitism. Is Australia's antisemitism crisis exaggerated?

Over and over the US inflicts obscene violence against the global South, in flagrant violation of international law, to maintain the conditions for capital accumulation for its decadent billionaire class. It's disgusting and intolerable. We cannot continue to accept this.

The Australian government is hosting Israel’s President Herzog - the head of a state that is currently on trial for genocide, who has been photographed autographing bombs that almost certainly killed innocent people in Gaza - and we’re all going to stay home and watch the tennis right?
